Cloud computing, which taps the resources of a network of remote computers, offers tremendous potential for storing and processing vast amounts of data quickly and cheaply. The catch: As cloud computing applications become larger, the potential for errors also grows. So a Cornell team of computer scientists plans to develop methods for improving the reliability of cloud computing, testing their work in a piece of the real cloud.
